2018 Lake Sonoma Boar's Blood Red Blend
In Stock
94 POINTS, The Tasting Panel Magazine
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Barbera is a rich violet color with decadent aromas of boysenberry syrup, vanilla bean, and creamy caramel chews. Bright and lively, this vintage opens with a fruit-forward palate of ripe blackberry and blackcurrant leading to a long, peppery finish.
Pair with medium-rare grilled hamburger with all the fixings along with fried green beans, and a creamy wedge salad
Wine Profile
Production Notes
This 2018 proprietary blend was aged for 33 months in thoughtfully
selected new French oak (50%) and neutral oak (50%) barrels.
Winemaker Notes
2018 began with a cool spring and good rainfall. Moderate summer
temperatures brought slow ripening and an extended warm fall meant later flavor development and overall balance. We saw ripe tannins with beautiful color and flavor depth while keeping good structural acidity.
